ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity universal joint is used as a fixed joint having an outer joint part (2) provided with first meridional ball tracks (6), and a ball hub (4) provided with second meridional ball tracks (7), the center lines of the ball tracks (6, 7) being undercut-free in the same axial projection. A joint base (1) is connected to the outer joint part (2) and is positioned at the open end of the undercut-free ball tracks (6, 7). The joint interior is provided with semi-spherical contact faces (16) between an axially inner partial region of the outer surface (11) of the cage (3) and guiding faces (9) in the joint base (1) while the joint exterior is provided with semi-spherical contact faces (17) between an axially outer partial region of the inner face (12) of the cage (3) and guiding faces (10) of the ball hub (4). The remaining partial regions (18, 19) of the outer joint part (2) and ball hub (4) respectively positioned beyond the contact regions (9, 10, 16, 17) are not in contact with the cage (3) due to free space recesses (13, 14).
